Two types of DNA Viruses 1. Naked: Parvovirus, Papovaviruses, Adenovirus 2. Enveloped: Hepadnaviruses, Herpesviruses, Poxviruses
Replication All DNA Viruses except hepatitis B duplicate their DNA by using it as a template to make more DNA Hepatitis B’s DNA polymerase has reverse transcriptase activity.
Parvoviruses • Parvovirus B19 is a naked, single stranded DNA virus that replicates in erythrocyte precursors. • Reservior: respiratory droplet • Transmission: resp droplet, formites, vertical transmission. Diseases • Fifth disease (erythema infectiosum, slapped cheek fever) • Chronicanemia in immunocompromised • Aplastic crises in sickle cell patients • Hydrops fetalis • Rash & arthralgias( adult predominantly)
Papovaviruses (Papilloma virus) • Human Papillomavirus • Diseases: • Cervical and Penile Carcinoma:HPV 16 and 18: Early proteins E6 and E7 inactivate tumor supressor functions of p53 and p110-Rb respectively. • Cutaneous warts(skin) HPV 2 & 4 • Plantar warts:HPV 1 • Anogenital Warts (condylomata acuminata)- may regrow after removal but are benign.( HPV 6&11)
Vaccine for HPV Gardacil covers HPV 6,11,16 & 18 DIAGNOSIS:Cutaneous- clinical ground Genital: finding of Koilocytic cells( cells with perinuclearcytoplasmic vacuolization & nuclear enlargement) in pap smears. Treatment: Imiquimod ( induced pro- inflammatory cytokines)
Papovaviruses(Polyomaviruses) Diseases: • BK: • Reservior & transmission: respiratory • Pathogenesis: latent infection in kidney • Causes kidney disease and is often associated with kidney transplantation. • Diagnosis: ELISA, PCR • TREATMENT: SUPPORTIVE • VIRUS:JC • RESERVIOR AND TRANSMISSION: RESPIRATORY • PATHOGENESIS: Infect in oligodendrocytes= demyelination • Is associated with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, a slow disease of immunocompromised patients • Diagnosis: ELISA, PCR • TREATMENT : SUPPORTIVE
Adenoviruses • Naked, icosahedralds viruses with fibers projecting from the capsid’spenton subunits. Diseases: • Pharyngoconjunctivitis and keratoconjunctivitis: “pink eye” – conjuntivae are inflamed with a watery exudate • Acute respiratory diseases: military/vaccine serotypes 3, 4,7 & 21 • Adenovirus 40 and 41:gastroenteritis • Acute hemorrhagic cystitis( boys 5-15) 11,15 • Gastro enteritis ( infantile): day care( 40-41)
Hepadnavirus We will have a separate lecture for the Hepatitis Viruses
Herpesviruses • Herpes simplex viruses I & II • Varicella-Zoster Virus • (This 3 above cause vesicular rash) • Cytomegalovirus • Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) • Human Herpes Viruses 6 &8 • Characteristics • Large, linear Ds DNA • Enveloped(derived envelop from nuclear membrane), icosahedral • Intranuclear inclusion bodies • Establishes latency
Herpes Simplex Viruses I & II • Cause either acute or latent infections • Latent infections cannot be treated by acylovir: • reason: virus does not make thymidine kinase which is required to activate acyclovir by phosphorylation of acyclovir.
Herpes simplex virus can set up a primary infection in the lips, move to the trigeminal ganglion where it can remain latent.

Varicella Zoster Virus • Primary Infection: Varicella or Chicken pox • Lesions start as papular and then progress to vesicular and then pustular. • Asynchronous rash • Latent in neurons • Contagious for 6 days after all lesions have dried • Live attenuated vaccine reduces the incidence of chicken pox. • Varicella Pneumonia and encephalitis(rare) • Reye syndrome (Aspirin)
Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) 2. Secondary Infection: • Herpes Zoster or Shingles • Clusters of vesicular lesions, usually along a single sensory dermatome, accompanied by nerve pain • Tx: Varicella zoster immunoglobulin (VZIG) & Acyclovir • Both chicken pox and VZV are much more severe in immunocompromised patients • Prevention: live, attenuated vaccine
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) • crosses the placenta, acquired during birth, mother’s milk, direct contact, sexual contact, blood transfusions or organ transplant. • When CMV replicates, it produces cells with typical large, purple intranuclear inclusion bodies surrounded by a halo (owl’s eyes)
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Diseases Many are asymptomatic Heterophile negative mononucleosis (immunocompetent) Retinitis and interstitial pneumonitis in immunocompromised patients Neonates: cytomegalic inclusion disease –microcephaly,seizures,deafness, hepatosplenomegaly with thrombocytopenic purpura, pneumonitis, CNS calcifications.
Dx: special tubes called shell vials PCR, The inclusion bodies are intranuclear and have an oval owl's-eye shape 4 fold or greater rise in ab titer Cmv antigenemia( pp65) Rx: in healthy, supportive IM ( AIDS or transplant pts) Ganciclovir and foscarnet, valganciclovir(oral), cidofovir and fomivirsen
Epstein Barr Virus • Infects oral epithelial cells and B-lymphocytes Diseases • Mononucleosis: - 15-25 year old: called the “kissing disease” - severe fatigue - pharyngitis/tonsillitis similar to strep throat. - postcervical lymphadenopathy - hepatomegaly and spenomegaly • Burkitt’s lymphoma -Oncogenic potential in Africa • Nasopharyngeal carcinoma – men from Southern China • Hairy Cell leukoplakia of the tongue • X-Linked Lymphoproliferative syndrome(severe, fatal)
